Welcome to a new feature, which will run daily until I run out of responses or until I get tired of doing it, whichever comes first. Fresh from the July 1897 Ladies’ Home Journal, I bring you…
Young ladies write in with questions, and Ruth writes back discreet responses on proper etiquette and fashion.
Today is a response to “Mattie.” I can only assume that Mattie wrote about some really sweet piece of wedding bling. Ruth has a definite opinion.
So there you have it. Just like that, Ruth dashes Mattie’s hopes sets Mattie straight. If you like it then you should put a ring on it, but not too big a ring, because that would be gauche.
Until next time!
